NASA's Hubble Views a Cosmic Skyrocket

July 3, 2012: Resembling a Fourth of July skyrocket, Herbig-Haro 110 is a geyser of hot gas
from a newborn star that splashes up against and ricochets from the
dense core of a cloud of molecular hydrogen. This image was taken with
Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys in 2004 and 2005 and the Wide Field
Camera 3 in April 2011.
